FINGER-RING OR QTHER ARTICLE OF JEWELRY.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 391,057, dated October16, 1888.

Application filed November 11, 1887. Serial No. 254.941.

To aZZ whom it may concern.-

Be it known that l, HARRY LEHR, of New York, in the county and State ofNew York, have invented a certain new and useful Improveinent inFinger-Rings and other Articles of Jewelry, of which the following is aspecification.

My improvementrclates to finger-rings and other articles of jewelrywhich are provided IO with movable stones or other parts.

The improvement consists in a novel combination of parts providing forthe detachment and attachment of the removable parts in suchfinger-rings and other articles of jew- [5 elry.

1n the accompanying drawings I haveillustrated a finger-ring embodyingmy improvement.

Figure 1 is a plan view of the ring complete. Fig.2 is a view of thering in a similar position, but having removed from it an ornamentalstone which is comprised in the ring. Fig. 3 is a section of the ringtaken as indicated by the dotted lineman, Fig. 2. Fig.

4 is a back view of the stone removed. Fig.

5 is an end view of the stone. Fig. 6 isasection of the ring with thestone in place and taken as indicated by the dotted line 3 y, Fig.

1. All these figures are on an enlarged scale.

Similar letters of reference designate corresponding parts in all thefigures.

A designates the ring proper, and B designates the stone.

The ring proper is provided with a box-like portion. a, which is shownas of rectangular form. This box-like portion is of such a size as thatthe stone B will snugly fit within it. The bottom of this box-likeportion is provided with a loop or loops, a. As shown, there are threeof these loops. They are arranged in line, and, as represented, extendin the direc- (N0 InodelJ The back of the stone B has a metal bar, I),

inserted in it at about its longitudinal center. 5 This bar is shown asdovetailed and as fitting in a dovetailed cavity in the stone. It willpreferably be riveted in place. It will be observed that this bar doesnot extend beyond either of the ends of the stone. The bar b is providedwith a loop or loops, b. Two of such loops are shown. When the stoneisin place, these loops extend across each end of the central loop, a, andbetween it and the ends of the adjacent loops a. Opposite the loops atthere are holes extending through the ends of the box-like portion a ofthe ring proper. There need only be such a hole in one end of saidbox-like portion.

0 designates a pin which extends through the box-like portion a of thering proper, through the loops a in said box-like portion, and throughthe loops 1), that extend from the portion 1), attached to the stone B.This pin fastens the stone securely to the ring proper. The stone may bedetached by removing the pin, and a different stone or article may beinserted in place of it.

WVhat I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent,is-

In a ring or other article of jewelry, the

combination of a box-like portion provided in the bottom with a loop orloops, a stone or analogous device adapted to fit within said boxlikeportion, and provided at the back with a loop or loops, and a pin forpassing through the two sets of loops and securing the same together,substantially as specified.
